fairy wife

Well, whoever poisoned the emperor now has the biggest suspect.

But just poisoning the emperor, the dragon's veins can't be broken.

Elder Cao glanced at Shi'er and took a step forward.

The imperial concubine froze for a moment, and slowly turned her head.Seeing a person suddenly appearing behind her without a sound, she opened her eyes wide in horror.

"You..." After all, this is not an ordinary woman, she immediately calmed down, and did not shout loudly.

Of course, what she's doing now is also shady, and yelling is not good for her.

"You are..." There was a trace of disgust and fear in her tone, and she was even more cautious: "Who asked you to come?"

Qiuqiu was slightly taken aback.

Elder Cao's way of appearing is definitely not the way that ordinary people would appear.Seeing such a supernatural phenomenon, the noble concubine didn't call out ghosts, but instead asked, who sent you here.

What does this mean?The imperial concubine must have dealt with people who are not ordinary people, and the relationship is unusual.

Is she doing all this, is someone manipulating her behind it?

Elder Cao said calmly: "Your work is done?"

Sure enough, it was the reaction of the old Jianghu, who really didn't regard himself as an outsider.When he said that, it was as if someone had really sent him.The purpose of the imperial concubine's doing these things may really be found out.

The imperial concubine glanced back at the coffin, and replied to Elder Cao, "The emperor still has a son who is alive...but he was also poisoned by the same peach blossom poison as the emperor. Since the emperor was seriously ill a year ago, in order to show his filial piety, the emperor He has to taste the decoction, even if the poisoning is not as deep as the emperor, it will take a few more months at most..."

Elder Cao usually smiles like Maitreya Buddha, but now with a straight face, in the dim light, it really looks a little scary.

With such a stern face and silent voice, the imperial concubine was a little flustered: "Please also tell your lord that the third prince will definitely rush back to the capital this month to enthroned, and then I will find a way to do it. I will definitely get him." life."

As expected, she did the poison.

Elder Cao finally nodded slightly.

Someone is really manipulating the imperial concubine.Judging from what she said, even the poison was given by the other party.

Her respectful attitude towards the visitor was astonishing.She is already a noble concubine. Judging from the conversation between the queen and her just now, the emperor must love her very much. When the emperor was still alive, she could stand up to the queen.Even suppress the queen.

With her status, she is so respectful to this so-called venerable and the subordinates sent by this venerable.

Either she has a fatal grip in the hands of these people, or the existence of these people is above the imperial power.

Qiuqiu felt that two reasons might be possible.

"Your envoy?" Seeing that Elder Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, he seemed to be thinking about something.The imperial concubine tentatively took a step forward.

Elder Cao opened his eyes, and the gleam in his eyes made the imperial concubine quickly take two steps back.The back is on the emperor's coffin.

"Don't misunderstand your envoy, I just want to ask your envoy something."

Elder Cao lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have already done what the venerable has ordered. But now the empress is powerful, and Chen Guozhang is outside to support... I am alone and can't shake them. I don't know if the lord can..."

"Your Majesty has his own opinion on this matter."

The imperial concubine hurriedly lowered her head: "Yes, yes."

Elder Cao accepts it as soon as he sees it well, and if he continues to talk, he is afraid that there will be mistakes, which will arouse the suspicion of the imperial concubine.

Wait until the imperial concubine looks up.But he found that the person in front of him had disappeared from his eyes.

She was puzzled and looked around.He also called twice softly: "Your envoy? Your envoy?"

After waiting for a while without hearing anyone's response, she let out a long sigh of relief. As if her bones had been pulled out all at once, she sat limply against the coffin and fell to the ground, covering her face with her hands.

Qiuqiu heard her laugh dryly.

No, it wasn't laughter, it was crying.

That voice still makes me shudder.

But now no one dared to take her crying or laughing seriously.Just now she was crying in front of the empress so heartbreakingly that she seemed to be out of her mind.But in a blink of an eye, he became calmer than the bystanders like them, which made all the old guys who cultivated immortals feel like they had been scolded.

The imperial concubine didn't stay here for long, she pushed the coffin lid back to its original place, and walked out somewhat staggeringly.

Elder Cao stroked his beard, but he couldn't tell that this smiling fat elder was also very good at acting, and he managed to get a lot of words from the imperial concubine.

"Peach blossom poison?" Elder Cao frowned and thought hard, "Peach blossom poison? What kind of poison is this?"

As the saying goes, there is no separation between medicine and poison. Elder Cao specializes in the cultivation of medicinal herbs. He understands medicinal herbs, and of course he also has a certain understanding of poisonous herbs and poisons.But this peach blossom poison sounds familiar, but if you think about it carefully, you can't figure out the origin.

Where did you hear it?

Elder Cao also knows several strange poisons that can quietly poison people for four or five years before killing them.But none of them have anything to do with peach blossoms.

It seems that this trip to the palace was not in vain.

Several people discussed it and decided to assign people to monitor the imperial concubine. Since someone is instigating and manipulating her behind the scenes, now that it is time to close her, if those people show up, they can follow the clues to find the mastermind behind the scenes.This person wanted to exterminate the royal bloodline, so the severance of the dragon vein must have something to do with him.

Elder Cao was with Guan Wei and the others, Shi'er was with Qiuqiu, and they worked separately.Shi'er planted many talismans in the palace, and Qiuqiu followed beside him to help.So many formation symbols were placed in completely different positions, Qiuqiu, a half-understandable person, could only judge that this formation should have come out of the seven-star formation, but she was at a loss as to how it changed.

Shi'er's fingers moved in the air, and the stars disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye.

Shi'er set up the formation, turned to her and asked, "Are you tired?"

Qiuqiu shook her head.

"Then I'll take you somewhere."

Qiuqiu followed behind him with some doubts.

Where else do you want to go?

They walked all the way to the southeast along the palace wall, and came to a deserted palace gate.Shi'er said, "This is it."

The door is ajar, and it opens with a push.

This is Si Tianjian.

Not far behind this yard is the observatory.

Normally, this place should be a Qingshui yamen, with few people.Now that the army is in chaos, no one cares about it anymore.

Shi'er took her hand and walked up to the observatory.

The stone platform is very flat and wide, and the ground is uneven, with astrological charts engraved on it.

This is an extremely mysterious thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is commonplace in Shi'er and Qiuqiu's eyes.

"This should be the highest place in the entire palace."

Shi'er stroked her hair for her, pointed down and said, "Look."

Qiuqiu looked in the direction of his finger.

The imperial garden is at their feet.

They couldn't see clearly when they were in the garden just now.But now I jumped out of the box and had a panoramic view of everything.Lakes, rockeries, and forests all look very small and exquisite. In the distance, palaces are next to each other, and the dark roof ridges are connected together.

"Can you see anything?"

Qiuqiu didn't know what Shi'er wanted her to see.She was just being honest about how she felt.

"It's very neat... It's just that the traces of artificial stacking are too heavy."

Shi'er nodded.

"Yes, these lakes and rockeries are all made by manpower. It should be that an artist drew the pattern first, and then spent countless manpower. Digging out the lakes and filling the mountains..."

It's no secret.Of course Qiuqiu understood.

But why did Shi'er tell her this on purpose?

When they were on the road, he also let her look down at the scene on the ground, just like now...

Qiuqiu had a vague guess in her heart, but, but...

She looked up at Shi'er.

"No way?"

"Why not?" Shi'er turned her head.

"Since the emperor has mountains and rivers, he can mobilize countless manpower and material resources to build such a garden for him. How do we know this river and mountain? Didn't someone draw a picture and chop stones to make mountains and rivers. Land is made into rivers?"

"That……"

Only gods can possess such abilities, right?

Then what?Qiuqiu still didn't understand.

She understands Shi'er's metaphor, but is now half-believing.

If the land she grew up in, the mountains and rivers were not born like this, but were deliberately arranged by the gods, what did the gods want to do?

It is understandable for the emperor to have such an imperial garden, but they want to enjoy it.Ordinary people want to beautify their living environment, at worst they can grow a few pots of flowers on the balcony, or even get two pots of prickly prickly cactus for the sake of feeding.The emperor had the privilege to build such a large garden for himself, covering dozens or even hundreds of acres of land.

Gods don't always want to build a garden for themselves, do they?

No no, Qiuqiu suddenly thought of something.

What did she discuss with Shi'er that day?

Yes, they were discussing seals.

Where does the Demon Realm exist, and why there are cracks to cause this kind of problem.

She thinks she's getting the point...but it's still vague.

Shi'er drew a few times in the air, and the flashing lines of nothingness became coherent.

"Look, this is a mountain range in the extreme north of the Central Plains." He continued to draw without stopping.

There is also such a mountain range in the extreme south, and there are rivers running through the Central Plains. Shi'er's paintings are all big mountains, big rivers and big lakes.

These mountains and rivers usually look either towering and towering into the clouds, or rushing down with majestic momentum.But now Shi'er removes all the appearance and details, and only keeps the traces of the plane lines.

In the end, a pattern composed of only these minimalist lines appeared in front of my eyes.

Shi'er painted a large map like this, just like the formation map he drew of the sealed land that day.

Qiuqiu opened her eyes wide.

Is it...

Could it be that the land of mountains and rivers where she grew up and lived is itself a giant formation?

This...how could it be?

If this is really a formation...

When she first saw the sealed land, Qiuqiu had this thought in her mind—maybe this is the largest and most complicated formation in the world.

But what about the one in front of you now? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
